BTW, they really ****ed up the marketing on this thing. Before Saturday, I thought that it was only available to those that couldn't have a satellite dish, like people in apartments and condos. My wife works for a huge ad firm, which was just hired to market DTV NOW, because it was so ****ed up from the start. |

I was told that they're adding channels all the time. It's just a matter of working out licensing agreements with the networks. The girl I spoke with didn't know that Showtime is now available, because it just happened on Friday. |

The main problem (for me) is support. Linux support for streaming directly from DirecTV is non-existent. On the forums there are discussions about UA strings, but I found that sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't. Upgrading Chrome often broke it, and I refuse to use an out of date browser. Streaming from the myriad different network providers was even worse. I'll probably try again during the holidays when I'll have some time to do some real troubleshooting, but I expect I'll be asking for a refund again. |

Just finished the 2nd episode.
This is good stuff. It's infinitely better than the Orville. |

After through some reddit comments, I was reminded that ST pilots have been typically rough.
Further, it also dawned on me that many here in this thread and Sci-Fi fandom in general are generally fans of episodic TV series. Since the end of Enterprise in May 2005, we've had the privilege of seeing the debuts of Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Westworld and so on and so on. Expectations perhaps be tempered a bit for a three-letter network show. |

The premise was okay, the Klingons were ridiculously portrayed
